On another page we publish interest
ing details about the various depart
ments of this celebrated institution, to
which we invite the attention of our
readers. particularly those who have
chosen teachiug rs Il vocation, and 9TH
eis Who had not the advantages of
complete education in their earlier life.
As will be seen, this college embraces
six departments working as one liarmo-
niuus unit under educators Of national
reHuwn aud professors Of the leading
colleges Of the United States There is
Il summer session of six weeks, but
persons living ut distance can remain
at home and receive instruction in any
special branch through the latest aud
most improved methods of teaching, all
through the year It does this by di-
recting-studies, correcting the students
work, and giving suggestions for study.
The curriculum is SO arranged and the
recitations SO managed that whether By
personal attendance or by correspond
ence, The student receives as much in
stuction within six weeks as he or she
would III six months under the usual
routine of college methods. This insii-
tution Is specially adapted to persons
of mature years who have not had op-
portunities of attending college in their
youth, but who still desire to obtain a
higher education for teaching, on to bet
ter qualify themselves for some prefes-
sion. In looking over the eight hun
dred students ID attendance here,
one is struck by the variety OF age,
culture, and purpose. Here are young
people preparing themselves for ad,
vanced grades in colleges during tht
winter. Here is a graduate student
OF tile Johns Hopkins preparing himseit
for further work at Baltimore. Hert
are many people in middle or advanced
age--eager, happy and satisfied. Here
are many teachers in colleges and acad
emies taking notes, asking questions

ofprofessors and students is gathered
elsewhere in the Union, and the yer,
novelty Of it isa glory. Read the or

Leon Sastremski.

Under the above head, that sterling
Democratic paper, the Lafayette Adver-
tiser, administers the following singing
rebuke to the Nichols ''harmonizers"
of Careucro who, in order to cary out
the great object of ''unifying the party"
by the gentle methods adopted by the,
Reforms campaiguels, and ont HerodV
ing Herod in their loving zeal, resolved
the other day that Gen. Leon Jastrem-
ski was 'spolitIcal trickster." 'lhis
gyatuitous and uncalIedfnr attempt to
asperse the character of one Of the pur-
est and most fair minded Democrats in
the State, who enjoys the highest es-
TEEN of even his political opponents,
will surely recoil with crushing force Gp-
on the heads of those who made it. Says
the Advertiser:
Many years of the eaIly life of this
gallant gentleman were spent among
Us, and in this community he has warm
perso4al friends and host of admirers,
rwhn have watched with pride the hon
ors that have come to him i'll his career
as citizen and soldier.
We feel we'll assured that the people
of Lafayette parish have no truer friend
than he is, and they have no patience
or synpathy with the spirit which
hings at him, for partisan purposes,
epithets and charges which his whole
life eloquently refutes.
The resolution of the Nichols Club
Of Carencro passed last Sunday calling
Leon Jastremski political trickster,
and in the same breath eulogizing Gen.
Nichols. can serve no good purpose,
for those who know Leon Jastremski
will not be disposed to take kindly to
eulogies of any one at the same time he
is denounced. Surely the loyal gentle
men composing the Nichols Club did
not comprehend that they were de-
nouncing true Democrat against
whom no charge of disloyalty to bis
party or his people can be truthfully
lodged, and whom we believe incapa-
BILE of dishonest or dishonorable politi-
cal acts.
In this campaign we are heartily fol
General Nichols, but we care not to see
him elevated at the expense of the fall
:. same of any honorable Democrat; and
in all this we feel we'll assured we voice
the sentiment of all that is manly II
our community.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Seth NJ. Murdough,
manager of the Boston oyster house, fell
from the roof OF the building, corner
Clark and Madison streets, in which the
restaurant Is situated, about two O'Clock
this afternoon, and was instantly killed,
the body being horribly mangled. Muir
dough was supposed to have gone to the
roof to examine pipe, and few minutes
later his body fell to the sidewalk. On
going to the Roof pistol with one cham
Der empty and large clot of blood about
foot in diameter was found short dis
lance from the edge of the building.
There were also p.ints of hand wet with
blood along the roof leading to the edge.
Whether or not the deceased committed
suic idc is not known. One theory is
that he was followed to the roof by some
one and killed, but the Coroner considers
1t case of suicide.
Tonight news of Murjough's death
reached George Rickson, a waiter, who
has been working for Murdough, and who
has been Ill for several weeks. The bare
details had been scarcely related when
Rickson, greatly excited, arose from his
couch, and rushing to an open window,
jumped out, falling four stories. He was
badly mangled, and cannot survive.
